The Dreamland

Camp: End of Day Two

"Uuunnggghhh....huh? Where am I?"

"You got knocked out. You are one stupid fella."

"Why? What happened?"

"You tried to kill yourself."

"What? How?"

"You jumped to catch the blow."

She remembered. Such a stupid act.

"You were dead."

"Wait, I was de--"

She hugged her. Then she slapped her. It made her fully awake.

"OW! What was that for?!"

"Never do that again."

"Where are the others?"

"Eating. Here. I saved you some. Puff believed that you are still alive."

"Thanks. You all did?"

"Yes. We hoped."

"*Chuckles*"

"Now let me ask you, why?"

"I dunno." while stuffing her mouth with food "I just felt it"

"I could have followed you."

"What?"

"You know that I can't live in this world without you two."

"Yes you can. You still have Cat."

"I know. But there is this part of me that says 'I can't survive without asking for help.'"

"Why?"

"That time when you were passed out, I want to help. I know what to do. But I can't."

"Why?"

"I don't know how."

"That's not an answer."

"I worry too much. I don't know what could happen if I didn't do it correctly. I can't do it alone."

Parrot started to cry. Dog sat beside her and hugged her.

"You can. You can."

"I don't know. I don't know."

"Look, any minute now, it could be your turn. It will help you face it. Look, what happened to me was very traumatic in my inner side, but after I got to understand more about my enemy, the more I loved it now."

"That's what I'm afraid of. There'll be a time that I have to make my own decisions. How? I don't know everything."

"You know that mistakes are okay."

"Some mistakes are fatal. It could kill either one of us."

"Then I'll have to fetch them."

They laughed.

"I dunno. I just don't know how to react."

"Well, we'll reach that point any moment now. It's better you prepare yourself."

"Okay. Good night. I'll sleep. You're alive now."

"Yeah. Good night. Sleep tight. I'll visit the others."

After Dog left, Parrot couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop thinking her first move if that case happens to her.

"No need to to think about that."

"AAAGH!! PUFF!!! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"

"When? After you finish thinking about the test?"

"Wait, how did you--"

"You're next. Tomorrow."

Parrot was stunned. She couldn't believe. It was her turn.

"You don't need to make your decisions early. Your decisions shall come at hand during the test."

Puff turned his back and walked towards the others. She couldn't sleep.

What should she do?

What would she do?

What would he do?
